Escape Sequence	Meaning
\ddd	octal byte (3 digits: ddd)
\xdd	hexadecimal byte (2 digits: dd)
\\	backslash
\'	single quote
\"	double quote
\b	backspace
\f	form feed
\n	new line
\r	carriage return
\t	horizontal tab

Be sure to use these inline characters only when needed. The behavior of some of them is not so intuitive. The carriage return escape sequence, for example, creates a new line only in dialog boxes and text areas.

Here are some strings that use these escape sequences:

"\x2499.99" // $99.99 (the hex value of the $ character is 24)
'c:\\games\\sc2000\\' // c:\games\sc2000\
'Let\'s learn JavaScript...' // Let's learn JavaScript...
